Home2 Suites by Hilton will be downtown Anderson's newest hotel, the City of Anderson announced following the approval of signage by the city's Board of Architectural Review.

The hotel will be at the corner of South Main and East Market Streets and include retail spaces on the first floor of the 87-room building, as well as meeting space, a swimming pool and outdoor fire pit. It is scheduled to be ready within two years, according to a press release.

“At the original announcement of this project, I called it a game changer,” Mayor Terence Roberts said in the release. “Now, as we announce the Home2 Suites by Hilton brand, we are once again proud to underscore that this is a spark for future development. We appreciate all partnerships involved and the excitement surrounding development opportunities in Anderson.”
